Endocrinology and diabetes mellitus

About me

I have been a consultant endocrinologist for over 35 years. I have maintained a strong interest in PCOS, menopause and osteoporosis.
In my clinics I see women with wide range of hormonal disorders including absent and/or irregular periods, premenstrual syndrome, unwanted hair growth, hyperprolactinaemia and thyroid disorders.
I have long standing and extensive clinical expertise in clinical management of PCOS and have pioneered the use of anti-androgens and metformin in this condition.
A significant proportion of my clinical practice is management of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, giving them advice on the risks and benefits of various HRT preparations and individually tailoring and monitoring their use.
For many years I have had a special interest in providing young women with premature menopause with comprehensive advice regarding fertility and estrogen deficiency.
I consult to men as well as women with low bone density or osteoporosis for diagnosis and treatment. I have long standing experience in managing osteoporosis in young women with eating disorders.
I am investigating and treating patients with vitamin D deficiency, calcium disorders including hyperparathyroidism and thyroid disorders.

Outcomes (self-reported)

The investigations and and threatment of patients are mainly performed in the out-patients settings. As my areas of expertise are Reproductive Endocrinology and Oseoporosis I do not have a need to hospitalize patients for those conditions. Therefore outcomes such as re-admission rate, postoperative infections or mortality rate are not relevant for my practice.
I did have patients' satisfaction questionairre as a part of my 360 degree feedback and I was please to see that 100% of those who returned questionnaire (based on 24 patients' response) were satisfied with my consultation. 22 were "very satisfied" and 2 were "fairly satisfied".
